She continued to say that her son has never been in trouble before, and she knows he shouldn't have thrown snow inside the school.

"I agree he shouldn't have done it," Kathy Grissum said. "There should have been a detention, but not a three-day suspension."

BHS senior Kyle Lauridsen said he doesn't know why the school hand out detentions anymore.

"I think the school overreacted," Lauridsen said. "I don't know when they got rid of detentions and started handing out suspensions instead."

Kathy Grissum was not happy with the length of punishment for what her son did.

"You're not talking about something which caused injury," Kathy Grissum said. "You're talking about a snowball. We thought the discipline was extra unfair. The punishment should fit the crime and this didn't."

The total number of students suspended from school for throwing snowballs is unknown at this time.
